FAINT NOT.
BY MISS MAGGIE l.. WHITMAN.

Tired Of life and its SORROWS?
Tired Of turmoil and care?
Fretting because Of failure?
Allowing yourself to despair!
What il the roads long and dreary:
What il the ends out of sights
Are we not taught by our Father
To trust Him and all will be rights
Is not the end worth the trying?
Is not Heaven the gmndest prize?
Where is the sense Of your crying
II you kao,r Of your home in the skies
Have You forgotten this one thing
Every life has its downpour Of rain
And arr we more than our Savior
Who bore so much ccnsure and pain
To the breeze throw your sorrows ant
heartache,
BE man, be irOmGn, that's all;
Do the right. Then accept what Got
gives you
Answer "here" when the great roll /
called.

We send out good many marked
papers this week to persons whose time
has expired. If they wish the paper
continued they will please let us hear
from them, whether they have any
money or not
We propose to leave home again
about the 18th inst, and subscribers
will please be ready for us at the fol-
lowing points : Moorcsville, States
vile, Salisbury and Concord. After
which we will turn our course south.
Rev. Bloice failed to come down
last Sunday, but his pulpit was ably
filled by Rev. Il. NJ. Collect in the
m orning, Rev. Mr.. Drayton In the
afternoon, and Rev. John Davidson at
night. The. attendance was good
morning and afternoon.
The Ebenezer Baptist church has a
fine pipe organ made to order. 1t
makes a beautiful show and very fine
music. This church stands a step
ahead of the other churches in the city
in other improvements, They are
greatly indebted to Y. Haughton, Jr.,
who has proven to be one of the most
successful managers of church and
Sunday school affairs in the city.
The death rate among the colored
people has greatly decreased since we
have a colored doctor. In most South
ern cities it is generally reported
nearly double that of the whites, The
report from DR.. Scarf for December
and January show the death rate for
the two races nearly equal. We do
not claim that DR.. Williams is better
than the other doctors, but we are sat
isfied with these results, let the causes
be what they may.
Mr.. Henry B. Kennedy, the cold
reliable mail agent between this city
and Augusta, has been removed. He
was among the first colored mail agents
in the South and has about as good a
record as any agent in the country,
He was removed to make room for a
Democrat. He is also among the few
colored men to come out of Office with
some of his earnings to fall back upon.
He is fairly fixed for living, He will
have two years to rest up and prepare
for the next Republican administra-
ton.
